See http://kicad-pcb.org/post/release-4.0.5/ for the change log.
Until the package maintainer accepts it, you can get it from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hmaarrfk/kicad/ When the build finishes, you should be able to get it through COPR. I'll issue builds for 32bit and F24 and F26 when the F25 succeeds. It succeeded on my machine so it shouldn't be too long. I would like to be comaintainer of this package to eventually gain sponsorship for package maintainer. Changes: Also, I attached an updated spec file, bumped the version number and updated the .pretty libraries. I also attached a file that can be used to generate the "SourceXX:" section so as to keep the .pretty files more in line. I think I might be missing some stuff. There seems to have been an effort to script more of the pacakge and make it more streamlined with kicad updates. It seems to have been abbandonned though. https://github.com/KiCad/fedora-packaging maybe we want to link to the Official Fedora repo from the github page. The fedora repository seems more up to date. https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/kicad
Created attachment 1243416 [details] Updated to 4.0.5
Created attachment 1243417 [details] Automatically generate .pretty sources for the .spec file
I think your copr package may be missing some of the throughhole components.
through holes have been renamed to THT, unless I am mistaken. I basically reformated their file https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/blob/master/template/fp-lib-table.for-pretty to make it point the spec to the right location. You can check that https://github.com/KiCad/Capacitors_ThroughHole.pretty redirects to https://github.com/KiCad/Capacitors_THT.pretty
Ah, thanks; was that really changed in a micro release or have Fedora packages just not correctly reflected current upstream?
I think the Fedora packages didn't reflect the upstream naming convention. I think most packages were still there. I think there were a few packages that I did in fact add. Honestly though, it is really hard to tell because some had less obvious name changes. I ended up writing the script because I couldn't keep track of the changes.
This needs to be updated for F26 because it will use Boost 1.63 and the current version of KiCad doesn't work with anything newer than 1.60 See e.g. https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/commit/06d4894fdbeb00727cdcc667b8899ad73d8eb1c2 and https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/commit/78bc3c65de6c03d19be9902327d08cd4d87c229c for commits to support Boost 1.61 and later.
So will those commits ensure it works with Boost 1.61+ AND 1.60? Are we immediately worried about F26? Or can this be pulled for F25 today?
(In reply to Mark Harfouche from comment #9) > So will those commits ensure it works with Boost 1.61+ AND 1.60? Yes, but there might be others that are also needed, I didn't look into it any further. > Are we immediately worried about F26? Or can this be pulled for F25 today? We won't be updating Boost in F25, so the current version of kicad will continue to work fine for F25. For F26 I'm in the process of updating to Boost 1.63 and so kicad doesn't build.
> For F26 I'm in the process of updating to Boost 1.63 and so kicad doesn't build. I think it is best to wait a few months until they update 4.0.6. Those pulls will probably be merged in and we won't have that trouble. Is that OK?
That makes sense.

Is it possible to add the script that generates the sources too to the Fedora git https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kicad.git/tree/ ? It is quite a hassle to ensure that the many (~80) optional Sources stay in sync with upstream releases.
Please ignore my previous comment. It seems Lubomir found a better perl based solution. Thanks!
